Spriggs Doubles through Bunch, Breaks Bubble (Sort Of)
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Rodney Spriggs limped in early and saw Eric Bunch raise to 16,000 on his left. Action folded to John Newcombe, who put his last 26,000 in. Spriggs made sure action wasn't reopened to Bunch before calling, and Bunch called as well. Spriggs bet 35,000 into the dry side pot on the 
flop, and Bunch shoved all in. Spriggs snapped it off.
Spriggs: 
Bunch: 
Newcombe: 
Spriggs' set was locked in for the win after the 
turn, and a 
completed the board.
Apparently, the tournament format is using "round-for-round" instead of hand-for-hand though, so Newcombe will await any other eliminations during this round of hands to see if he chops the last payout with anyone.
